    Hello all! Following up on a previous thread I saw come through. I am aware that there is a industry standard that the product residual inside of a package, especially something like a bottle with pump, is approximately 20%. I was wondering if there are any relevant case studies or standards that support this claim?

    Those data exist but will vary depending on the product type and container type. If you can provide more details, I can try to point you in the right direction.

    Thanks for reaching out! The product in question is a lotion or cream in a classic cylinder or round bottle.

    I have worked in beauty and personal care for the last 20 years and we tend to use minimum 90% evacuation as the guideline for packages with pumps. 

    Happy to discuss further if you want to reach out!

    Agreed 20% is the default. The new EU Eco-labeling says no more than 5% for rinse-off products and 10% for leave-on. Still looking to see if I can find some container-specific data for lotion-type products. That said, it's pretty easy to measure.
